The only serious plan out there that actually balances the budget is the Democratic Congressional Progressive Caucus’ budget. Unlike the Senate Democrats’ conservative plan, it balances the budget through a balance of tax increases and spending cuts, and creates jobs with government investment in infrastructure. Unlike the Republican budget, it actually contains numbers, specifies which loopholes would be closed, specifies what programs will be cut, and would create jobs rather than destroying them.

If every penny the “rich” had was taken away today it wouldn’t erase the debt that the Democrats have layed on us. Besides, being the good liberals they are, any increase in revenue by the government would be immediately spent on new phones, TVs, computers, cars, etc for the “poor”. Once that money was gone they would be screaming for another “stimulus”.

I just finished reading the executive summary of the Democratic Congressional Progressive Caucus’ budget. There are no real numbers in the summary, and I was unable to find a spread sheet on their budget with real numbers.It only specifies x% increases in this and y% increases that. I did not find in the summary to be at all serious but only a pipe dream or wish list of what the Democratic Congressional Progressive Caucus would like to see as a budget. It is mostly unrealistic.

It’s a big country with a lot of people in them, some of them with special needs. Government – any government – SHOULD provide certain services that the private sector can’t provide. Take my Granny as an example. Her Social Security entitlement (accrued through high taxes) survived WW1, the Black Friday and WW2 because it was guaranteed by the nation of Germany, no matter who was running it. Now contrast that with GWBs idea to privatize Social Security…
